Turkey is planning to establish a sovereign naval base in north Cyprus, it was reported on Tuesday.
According to Turkish daily Yeni Safak, Turkey’s navy has submitted a proposal to the north for the establishment of the base.
Such a base in the north would ensure guaranteeing the “sovereign rights” of the breakaway regime, the daily said, but also the rights and interests of Turkey in the eastern Mediterranean.
If there is a decision to implement this measure, Yeni Safak said, Turkey would establish a sovereign naval base in the north like Britain established two bases in the south of the island in 1960.
